Kehillah in Corinth I 11:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 11:9

Neither was the man created for the woman
To be subservient to her; for she was not in being when he was created; and though it is the proper business of man to provide for, take care of, and defend the woman, as the weaker vessel, yet these were not the original ends of his creation; he was made for God, for his service and glory:

but the woman for the man;
to be an help meet for him, who was already created; to be a companion and associate of his, both in religious worship and in civil life; and for the procreation and education of children.

Kehillah in Corinth I 11:9 In-Context

7 For a ben Adam indeed ought not to be covered on the rosh, being the demut HASHEM (BERESHIS 1:26) and the kavod Hashem, and the Isha being the kavod (glory), the glorious reflection of Adam. [BERESHIS 1:26; 5:1; 9:6]
8 For Adam is not out of the Isha but Isha out of Adam (Man) [BERESHIS 2:21-23].
9 Indeed, Adam was not created because of the Isha, but the Isha because of Adam (Man) [BERESHIS 2:18].
10 Because of this, the Isha ought to have a kesut rosh (head covering) of marut (authority, discipline) on her rosh because of the malachim.
11 However, neither is Isha without Adam (Man) nor Adam (Man) without Isha in Hashem.
